Pear and Gruyere Strata

The final of my housewarming brunch dishes is something I made at the holidays last year. When having several people over for brunch, it was key to have at least one dish that I didn't have to do all the work on in the morning, this was that dish.The prep work is pretty minimal and you basically assemble everything the night before so the following morning you just need to stick it in the oven for a little less than an hour.

The only modification I made on this recipe was that I didn't use the turbinado sugar since I couldn't find the ingredient, though I think the only reap purpose of it was additional sweetness to carmelize on the top. I felt the dish was pretty sweet as it was, but if you can find that sugar, more power to you!

About Me

I'm a short girl with a big appetite for cooking, entertaining and enjoying every bite! In 2011, I embarked on a New Year's resolution to cook one new recipe each week. 52 weeks later I had an arsenal of recipes to choose from (with only half a dozen or so not worthy of repeating) and decided to start a blog this year to chronicle my cooking endeavors.
